Mavericks-Lakers Preview The Dallas Mavericks have the best road record in the NBA, so the prospect of not having home-court advantage past the first round of the playoffs shouldn't seem all that daunting. The Los Angeles Lakers, however, have spent the last few months showing they're not particularly accommodating hosts. 達拉斯小牛的客場戰績在聯盟排名第一，從這個觀點看來，在第一輪之後沒有主場優勢也沒那麼令人氣餒。然而洛杉磯湖人最近幾個月在主場的表現也不是好惹的。 The red-hot Lakers have won nine straight at Staples Center since the All-Star break, and they can make it eight consecutive wins overall Thursday night in a showdown with Dallas and potential second-round playoff clash. Road success is nothing new for the Mavericks (53-21), who are 27-10 away from home after finishing an NBA-best 27-14 in 2009-10. 狀況火熱的湖人在明星賽之後於Staples Center已經拿下主場九連勝，明天對上小牛的比賽他們同時要尋求最近的八連勝，這也將是一場西區第二輪的可能戲碼。戰績53勝21敗的小牛客場戰績依舊相當好，他們目前的客場成績是27勝 10敗，去年則是拿下全聯盟客場最佳的27勝14敗的。 But that dominance didn't carry over into the playoffs, when second-seeded Dallas lost all three road games while being upset in the first round by San Antonio. If it can survive the first round this spring, Los Angeles (53-20) would likely be up next. The Lakers currently have a half-game lead over the Mavericks for the Western Conference's No. 2 seed, meaning Thursday's game could go a long way in deciding which team would host a potential second-round Game 7 between two teams that haven't met in the postseason since 1988. 但是這樣的客場表現卻沒有帶到季後賽，第二種子的小牛在第一輪的三場客場全敗，就這樣被聖安東尼奧馬刺淘汰出局。如果小牛本季能挺進第二輪，湖人看起來就是他們下一個對手。湖人目前戰績領先小牛半場，處於西區第二的位置。也就是說明天的比賽至關重大，將會決定如果第二輪這兩隊打到第七戰，誰能夠擁有關鍵的主場優勢。這兩隊在1988年以後就沒在季後賽碰頭過了。 "It's as important as the last game we played against Dallas," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said Wednesday, referring to a 96-91 road win March 12. "It was a game we keyed on our schedule and have guys thinking about it. "It creates an opportunity to get some space between us and Dallas but it's still not the end, obviously." 湖人教頭Phil Jackson說："這跟我們上次作客達拉斯的比賽一樣重要，這是我們賽程中的關鍵戰役，大家都把心思放在這上面。這是個拉開我們與小牛之間差距的好機會，但這顯然還不是戰爭的終點。"兩隊上次在3月12日於達拉斯碰頭，湖人以96-91在客場取勝。 The Mavericks won their first game against the Lakers 109-100 at home Jan. 19, though, leaving the season series even heading into the only regular-season meeting at Staples Center. Dallas is 2-0 in Los Angeles this season, however. The Mavericks held on to beat the Clippers 106-100 on Wednesday, their fifth straight win while improving to 3-0 on their six-game road trip. 然而小牛在1月19日兩隊本季第一次的對戰中，小牛在主場以109-100拿下勝利。兩隊本季的交手各取一勝，明天將是小牛本季唯一一次到Staples Center面對湖人。小牛本季在洛杉磯出賽2戰全勝，不過兩次都是打敗快艇，今天小牛以 106-100勝出，拿到他們最近的五連勝，也在客場六連戰的前三場全勝。 Talk then quickly shifted to the battle for the No. 2 seed. "It's not the end of the world to be (No.) 3, but we're going for it," Dirk Nowitzki said. 球員之間的對話焦點很快的轉移到西區老二之爭上。Dirk Nowitzki說："拿到西區第三也不是世界末日，但是我們還是得努力。" Facing the Lakers, though, presents a far different challenge. Jackson's team is 15-1 since the All-Star break, has won nine in a row at home and is well-rested after Sunday's 102-84 rout of New Orleans. "It's good, but don't make a big deal out of this," said Pau Gasol, who had 23 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks. "It's not a big deal if we end up 24-1. What matters is we get to the playoffs healthy and with the best record possible." 對上湖人卻是更艱困的挑戰，禪師所率領的紫金軍團在明星賽之後15勝1敗，同時拿到主場九連勝，也在禮拜一以102-84痛電黃蜂之後得到足夠的休息。在上一場比賽攻下23分16籃板4火鍋的Pau Gasol說："這很好，但這沒什麼了不起的。我們以24勝1敗結束球季又怎樣，更重要的是大家保持健康，盡量爭取好成績。" The Lakers could use another big game from Gasol, particularly considering Kobe Bryant's recent struggles against the Mavericks. The 13-time All-Star has been held to 17.0 points per game while shooting 40.8 percent versus Dallas since the start of last season - his worst average against any opponent. The teams have split six meetings in that span, and the key to the Lakers' victories has been Andrew Bynum. They're 3-0 against the Mavericks when their 23-year-old center scores at least 19 points and 0-3 when he's held under that mark. 湖人希望Gasol明天再次打出好成績，尤其是Kobe Bryant最近對上小牛打的並不順手。這位13度入選明星賽的球員這兩季面對小牛平均只能攻下17.0分，命中率40.8%，是這段期間對上全聯盟所有隊伍的最差成績。兩隊最近六次交手雙方各取三場，而湖人的勝利關鍵就在Andrew Bynum上，當這位23歲的中鋒得分在19分以上時湖人三戰全勝，反之則是三戰全敗。 Dallas, meanwhile, has plenty more than Nowitzki to count on versus Los Angeles. Jason Terry has averaged 21.7 points in his last three games in the series, while Shawn Marion has averaged 23.5 - nearly twice his season average - in the past two meetings. Los Angeles has won 20 consecutive home games when it's scored at least 97 points. 相較之下，小牛除了Dirk以外有更多可以依賴的進攻點來對抗湖人。Jason Terry 最近三次對上湖人平均攻下21.7分，Shawn Marion最近兩次對戰則是平均攻下 23.5分，快到他本季平均的兩倍了。湖人在主場得分至少97分時已經拿下20連勝。本季最關鍵甚至可能關係到季後賽我們能走多遠的一場比賽就在明天了雖然我們是B2B 湖人則是有三天的休息但無論如何明天將對西區二三名有決定性的影響 Let's Go Mavs!! 明天非贏不可啊!!!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.7.214
